Rent The Runway Weddings

Rent The Runway continues to make this budget conscious city gal happy with the launch of a wedding section. Dresses can now be rented for your walk down the aisle with that dorky groomsman. A Badgley Mischka cocktail dress retailing at $355 can be rented for only $100! And no need to worry about alterations (which can cost up to $75 at a bridal shop) as you will get a free backup size! This site is truly genius for the professional bridesmaid who has no use for the ten bridesmaid dresses hanging in her tiny East Village closet. There are even dresses and accessories available for the bride to rent. With her engagement party, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, bachelorette party, and the honeymoon, this wife-to-be requires the perfect dress for each occasion. Luckily, Rent The Runway has dresses for every special event. With all of the photos being taken during this whirlwind time, the Soon-To-Be-Mrs. won’t be caught dead in any of those dresses again. And with a Hervé Léger

costing $1,600, but available to rent at only $200, why not decide to go rental?
